ISABEL MAXWELL HANCOCK

DEDICATION

For her Southern smile and warmheartedness which
helped to smooth out many of the wrinkles of our
school life; for her never flagging interest and under-
standing; for boundless depths of energy and spirit,
all of which have so enriched our years at Abbot, we,
the Senior Class of 194£>, most fondly dedicate our
yearbook to IVliss Hancock

FACULTY anc

MARGUERITE CAPEN HEARSEY

Principal

In chapel when I would glance at the faculty
seated together on the platform during the
morning service in which we all took part, it
would often occur to me how very much thev

« t.

added to our dailv life at Abbot. In the class-
room where they extended their knowledge
to us, on the sports field, and in the offices, I
often marveled at their unending patience,
genuine interest, and unfailing kindness.

Often in the evenings we would go to their
rooms where they would listen to our prob-
lems and troubles, and in complete friend-
liness give us the advice we so much needed.
From that very first dav when we came to
Abbot as timid Preps until the final great
moment when we were ready to leave, as
alumnae, the presence of the Abbot faculty
filled us with a sense of security. And so as I
sat in chapel glancing often at the members
of the faculty and at the portraits of their
predecessors on the walls around us, it seemed
as though these earlier ones smiled down in
commendation and in thankfulness that their
work was being carried on by strong successors.

CLASS SONG

We are the class of '46
With purpose clear and true
Our yellow banner waves on high
Behind the Abbot blue.

Marching together ever on
Throughout our future davs
And loyally united be
With "46 always.

[14

V-J Day! What did thai mean to nicy . . . . If meant a
deep, inexpressible thankfulness — a silent happiness that
could not have been put into words. . .and it meant too
that I among thousands of other school girts was to be a
senior in a world struggling to create and maintain the
precious peace it had won.... As these thoughts run
through my mind, I remember the changes which war
brought to school. . . .1 remember the stairway rush when
an air-raid warning sounded. . .the bus-less trips to
Boston for "Twelfth Night" and "Macbeth" . . .the nights
of bandage-rolling .. .and knitting ... .oleo-d and meat-
less days. . .and abundance of "free" mail and V-mrw.il. . .
wonderful, wonderful "free-days" to make up for the war-
restricted Spring vacation when books were put away for
twenty-four whole hours! . . .all these things and yet, noiv,
they seem unimportant compared to that intangible thing
which has made my life here of greater significance . . . .1
have learned so much more than Latin, chemistry or history
. . .1 have learned not only to appreciate such things but
to appreciate the inherent dignity of life, and of every
human being. . . .Somehow, the half -thoughts and visions
of the future which had come with me as a prep, have
sharpened until they stand out clearly. . . until they have
become a high star, a goal. . . . Above all, I have learned how
to become a finer, more effective person, and to that person
I must never fail to strive to remain true.

Those who come after

This year we felt our first
tinge of authority and at the
same time became conscious of a
new sense of responsibility. It
seemed wonderful to go to Bos-
ton to see Hamlet and other
plays, and it was most impres-
sive to take the places of the
seniors at the table as they
rushed off somewhere to spend
the day.

We shall never forget what a
job it was to organize the ba-
zaar but the goal inspired us to
do our utmost. Our efforts were
matched by the cooperation of
the whole school.

We still quiver remembering
the mornings we sauntered up
the aisle in chapel with knees
shaking to give "the News."
Nevertheless, it was a member

[36]

Senior-Mids . . .

of our "stunning" class who
was chosen to be sculptured by
the illustrious Madame Silver-
cruvs.

■

The night of the Senior play
when we were the guests of the
Seniorsand marched into Davis
Hall singing our class song, and
wearing our lovely blue class
sweaters, for the first time, it

suddenlv came over us that soon
they would be leaving us as
graduates, and that made us
very sad.

As commencement time
neared, we were solemnlv in-

itiated into the sacred confines
of the Senior Parlor. We knew
then that our very happy Senior
Mid days were about over.

. . . Junior-Mids . . .

This year was a most import-
ant one in regard to the Junior
Mids. In becoming a separate
and individual class, we have
gained many privileges which
made up for the first disappoint-
ment we experienced at our
being separated from the Class
of '47. We felt ourselves to be

when we had conferred upon us
the dubious privilege of giving

Next vear. we shall official lv

Class of '48. but we shall look
back on '46. glad to have made
the move toward the individual
importance of the Junior-Mids.

[38

. . . Juniors . . .

We have had a lot of fun this
year, and at the same time we
have accomplished something to
look back upon.

We helped the Seniors with
their Christmas dolls for the
Hindman Settlement, demon-
strating versatility in the art of
dressmaking! Going from dress-
making to dramatics we were

said to have displayed some
skill on Stunt Night and to-
gether with that of the Preps
furnished laughs for the re-
mainder of the school. We con-
fess that we were mighty envious
on the night of the Prom as we
watched from the outside the
upper classes having the time of
their lives dancing. Neverthe-
less we managed to take it all

very well and consoled ourselves
with a party of our own without
any men!

Again we joined our efforts
with those of the Preps and
raised over a hundred dollars
worth of canned goods for the
European Relief collection. AVe
went about the task on our own
initiative and raised the gift.
I guess we feel rather proud to

mimiffli

record it in our class annals.
Thus we have alreadv become
an essential part of Abbot, and
we are looking forward eagerly
to next year when we can proud-
ly call ourselves upper classmen.

[40]

Preps

We are the Prep Class and
believe it or not we enjoyed our-
selves even in that low bracket.
At the beginning of the year we
telt young , new and over-
looked" by our worldly-wise
"elders," but later we became a
definite asset to Abbot. For
weren't the Seniors dependent

on us for making wardrobes for
their Christmas dolls? And
which class was it (along with
the Juniors) who brought 90
cans of food to send overseas?
And who was it that contributed
so much talent to the new "rec"
room, sports, and lolanthef Why,
the Preps! Keep your eyes on
the class of '49!

Student Government

One of the leading organizations
at Abbot is the Student Government
Association. It is through this or-
ganization that we begin to learn the
art of self-government. Student Gov-
ernment collaborating with Miss
Hearsev and a facultv committee
has charge of the Rating System.
The system encourages and rewards
special effort in good citizenship.

Through the able leadership of
"Ginny" Finney, helpful improve-
ments have been incorporated into
our school life. It might well be said
that the smooth running of the
school is partly due to the success
with which Student Government ex-
ecutes its own program.

Student Government prides itself
in that it works with the adminis-
tration.

Abbot Christian
Association

The Abbot Christian Association
is one of the best loved organiza-
tions at Abbot. Its first program of
the year is the festive fun-making
Old Girl-New Girl party. During the
year this group of students held
three vesper services — conducted
two morning chapel services — spon-
sored the gift of the Christinas dolls
for the Hindman Settlement. A Mer-
rie Christmas party was given for a
group of Andover Children — Santa
Claus . . . shining tree . . . and gifts for
all...

The Red Cross Drive was carried
out under the direction of A.C.A.
with notable success. Baskets of
fruit went to the Andover Old Folks
Home.

The Abbot Christian Association
quietly binds together our efforts to
help others.

Courant

"Well, let's vote — thumbs up or
thumbs down," "There is entirely
too much poetry." "But we must
have an editorial!" Such phrases are
typical of what goes on behind the
closed door of the small corner room
on the fourth floor! As the material
comes in, it is read by the Courant
Board at Friday night meetings;
sorted and then voted upon. Next
comes the preparation for printing
and the scurrying before the dead-
line. Calm at last ! and the board
waits patiently for the day when their
product is thrust into the mailboxes.
They can view this product with
pride because once more Cou rant's
standard as the literary voice of the
school has been upheld.

Reeves, their faculty advisor, or to
Mr. Valz, their representative from
the engraver who helped them lay
out their vearbook. Later on, there
appears Mr. Cole at their meetings
who soon takes over the printing.

Sometimes the table is littered
with drawing paper, paste and scis-
sors as the dummv vearbook grows
from a dream to a reality.

From all that material spread out
on the table, an all inclusive year-
book of life at Abbot was produced.

" IOLANTHE PRINCIPALS "
Sommer, Mastrangelo. Sullivan, Hogan, Power, G. Wright

The choir is indeed devoted to its
work which is under the direction of
Miss Friskin. Two beautiful songs
are sung each Sunday at vespers.
They do not seem to mind the prac-
tice time, for when the finished pro-
duct is called for. the choir is readv
to give a good imitation of angel
voices blended together in harmony.
The whole school appreciates the
music the choir brings to us.

Fidelio seems to be a lot of fun.
especially this year, for instead of
giving the two concerts with Exeter
and Governor Dummer. exciting
though these events may be. they
joined up with Phillips Academy
and presented a Gilbert and Sullivan

"Tolanthe." Every \Yednesdav and
Saturday the Abbot "chorus" would
go tripping off to Phillips to rehearse
with the men's chorus. Once Abbot

had become used to the much louder
noise the boys made in their singing,
the girls let go, and gave plenty of
competition.

Fidelio was engaged in several
other projects during the year; for
example, the songs for the Christmas
service which came the Sunday be-
fore the holidays began. We shall
never forget the lovely 'Shepherd
Song" as sung by Helen Mastrange-
lo, the only Prep member of Fidelio.
Then, too. Fidelio took part in the
commencement recital. These activi-
ties served to ease the strain of the

Whatever success Fidelio has

who directs the great chorus of the
famous Worcester Festival.

The organizational duties which
are involved in running Fidelio are
taken care of by the student officers,

"Importance of Being Earnest"

Drama at Abbot

ABBOT DRAMATIC SOCIETY
Tread tray, A. Flowers, Potter, Hogan, President; Graf, (hirers, Kolins

Abbot Dramatic Society has had a
wonderful year. Who could ever for-
get the wonderful parties in Mrs.
Gray's apartment, and the gay cele-
brations in the studio; long, hilari-
ous, grim, inspired, depressed re-
hearsals of Oscar \Yilde's "The Im-
portance of Being Earnest," when
everyone tried to become a profes-
sional amateur. The play was lots of
fun with manv memorable incidents
connected to it by much laughter —
enough so that it was an amusing
play from the stand-point of both
the cast and the audience.

In everyone's opinion, "Friend
Hannah" was one of the most suc-
cessful Senior plays we have witness-
ed. Remember how bewitching Luty
was in her bonnet, and how utterly

[50]

heartbreaking was her performance
as wife of the newly made King
whom she renounced all claim upon
in exchange for a lonely life. Laurie
enacted a splendid King for Luty to
renounce! The supporting players
more than filled all requirements —
Patty, Micky, Frannie, Louise, Pol-
ly, Nancy, and all the others who
took their parts so well. But what
would we have done without our un-
matchable, indefatigable Mrs. Gray
to make us into what we were that
night. The real success is Mrs. Gray's.

At commencement - time Draper
Dramatics presented "The Taming
of the Shrew." The gay comedy
fitted in well with the festive mood
of final ceremonies of the closing of
school when we would all be leaving
for the summer holiday.

cries that echo .hack from outdoor
days at Abbot.

Athletics are an important part of
Abbot life. It is the goal of the Abbot
Athletic Association to encourage
interest in sports, and to uphold a
standard of fine sportsmanship.

For competition, the school is
divided into two teams, the Gar-
goyles and the Griffins. These teams
engage in friendly rivalry all the
year round from the first hockey
game in October until the last base-
ball is tossed out for the last game in
June.

On Field Day — in November and
in May — the teams play hard to roll
up points for their side. "Somebody
has to win!" So we all enjoy the
victory . . . Gargoyle or Griffin . . . for
the game's the thing.

Sports at Abbot

During the hockey season the teams worked hard to
learn new pointers. Throughout, there were very close
games between the two teams. "When Field Day arrived
the Griffins came out victorious but onlv after a hard
fight was staged by the Gargoyles.

After Field Day. the varsity team experienced a
thrill when they went off in their snappy blazers to
play in a hockey conference in Boston. This was "a first
time" event in the historv of the Abbot Athletic Asso-
ciation.

The intricate techniques and skills of basketball were
this fall demonstrated by a capable returnee. "Butch"
Stevens, '44, who carried on until Miss Hunt, our regu-
lar instructor, had recovered from an illness. With hard
work both teams became proficient enough to give the
rival cheering sections a lot to make a noise about.

The season lasted on into the cold of earlv November.
Even though they shivered and shook the players made

basketball one of the chief excite-
ments of the fall.

On the afternoon of Field Dav in
November there was a battle roval
on the tennis courts. Miss Humes,
perched high up in the referee's box,
witnessed a match between "Mouse"
Morse, Gargovle, and Marv Emerv,
Griffin. It was a superb exhibition!
Marv Emerv, Griffin, won the match.

When the cold weather forced us
indoors, the school was divided into
two groups — modern dance and gym.
Modern dance meant to some that
thev were destined to become Martha

Grahams, but to the realists the
whole thing was confused with the
matter of one's "figger."

For our winter's gym, we were in-
troduced to "tumbling." We did
astonishing things such as we had
0-O-O-ed at when encountered un-
der the Big Top. And there was preci-
sion marching. We liked that too.

During the war years riding was
given up. But this session the nearby
stables of the Rocky Hill Riding
Academv were fitted out with some
good mounts, and we enjoyed them.
Brightly colored fall days found us
on the trails, and as soon as spring
was in the air and the "sign here for
riding" slips appeared on the bulletin
board, we were oft' again into the
flowering countryside.

When the snow came we rushed to
the ski room to prepare our skis for
hard usage. The beginners were in-
itiated to the sport on "suicide
slope" in front of Sunset while the
experienced ones dared Chapin's hill

[55]

and the more daring. Prospect hill.
In the meantime the Seniors worked
up their technique for Intervale
when the moment should at last
come.

And we skated. The tennis courts
would be flooded for us when the tem-
perature was just right for smooth
freezing. Sometimes for variety we
went over to Rabbit Pond.

Archery has been resumed now as
a major sport. Many girls partici-
pated in this new activity so that by
Field Day. it was thrilling to watch
the shooting, and wait to know
whether the bull's-eves were scored
for Gargoyle or Griffin!

the circles for hurling disks, and the

broad jump pit were put in place
on the hockey field for the exciting
events of spring term Field Day.

The girls got into form pretty
quickly once the daily practice be-
gan, and they amazed the spectators
by their speed, accuracy, and general
prowess. It was a good show.

When Spring came the rabid base-
ball fans trotted out for "warming
up" so as to be ready for the first
practice. They would get very
"tough" for the occasion and yell
'That's a-looking 'urn over" and
"bat'er up, kid," for realism. Any-
way, "Dem Bums" couldn't have
received a more loyal welcome than
the Griffins and the Gargoyles gave
our teams when the games got goin'.

* More than a thousand year books have borne the
imprint of New England's Master Craftsmen.

Many business managers and editors of year books
in the school and college field have written us in
appreciation of our cooperation and helpful sug-
gestions. This, of course, has been very gratifying
to us and we are looking forward to the years
ahead with the same spirit of helpfulness to the
business managers and editors of the future.
